Ethyl 3-amino-4,4-difluorobutanoate

Description:

Ethyl 3-amino-4,4-difluorobutanoate is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group and the presence of fluorine atoms. It features a butanoate backbone with an amino group at the 3-position and two fluorine substituents at the 4-position, which significantly influence its chemical properties. The presence of the amino group imparts basic characteristics, while the difluoromethyl group enhances lipophilicity and may affect the compound's reactivity and biological activity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in polar organic solvents, and its reactivity can be attributed to the presence of both the amino and ester functionalities, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. Ethyl 3-amino-4,4-difluorobutanoate may have applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis, although specific applications would depend on further research and development.
